Talking to several mates who are ST holders at VP, they were glad to see the back of him when he went. The difference is Sam, you and a few others on the Villa board probably didn't get the frustration many of the paying supporters felt when watching from your armchairs. He took millions out the club in dividends, bonuses, share options and salary. Guess who owned the catering firm and construction firm who won the tenders for working at Villa Park? Then he named a stand after himself whilst engaging in years of spiteful behaviour against the 81/82 side just because he wasn't at the club for that brief period. I think Steve Gibson at Boro is a far better example of a responsible owner who supports the club and doesn't use it as a cash cow to cream off a fortune.
